Great dim sum, cute place, lovely staff. I wish they had a liquor license, but that's all I can ask for.

Got the brisket noodle soup and chili oil dumplings (not pictured) to go! I have no complains. Everything was flavorful and fresh tasting. I’m thinking about going back today to sit in and try more dumplings!

I've only ordered from here twice but both times have been very delicious. I am especially obsessed with their Szechuan Style Cold Noodles and the steamed eggplant with mashed garlic. The spicy eggplant is also amazing. Very flavorful and perfect amount of spicy for all 3 dishes !! I enjoyed their cucumber salad as well. I don't think they are anymore expensive than Americanized Chinese food. Looking forward to becoming a regular.

Stopped by for some dumplings and soup on a whim. Service was quick, there was no wait at all to dine in. We were really pleased with the braised beef soup, it was moderately spicy and had nice flavor, noodles had nice chew. The pork soup dumplings were excellent as were the beef dumplings. They were served super fresh straight in the bamboo steamer. This is quality, genuine Chinese food, it's in a different league compared to the typical "general tso's" type of Chinese food. We will definitely be going back to try more items from the menu.

Came here for lunch as a special treat with my husband and four year old. We had a great time exploring some new foods, especially Dim Sum (we have a dim sum board game at home). The dumplings were delicious - definitely will be back.

As a big Chinese foodie, I adore this place!!! Originally started coming here for their noodle soups in 2020, which are exquisitely flavourful and very authentic. The beef noodle soup is my go-to, especially in the winter. They’ve also recently started serving more menu items, including clay pot dishes, and this minced pork and chive flowers with salted black beans, which is my new favorite. The ambience is really cozy and the interior is well decorated. Can’t believe this place isn’t more popular! One of my absolute favorite spots to satisfy my Chinese cravings in New Haven.
